javscriptconsole error o_st has no properties

o_st = document.getElementById("orig_station"); calls the id

<SELECT name="orig_station" tabindex="1"> uses name i/o id

A pair of fatal-to-us JavaScript errors: using getElementById on elements with
names but not ids, and then only setting the screen width and height variables
if (document.all || document.layers), neither one of which are true for us, so
we error out when trying to do arithmetic with those undefined variables once
the name/id error is worked around.
